Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-03-09

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 0.5 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.

WHEN From 4:00 AM to 5:00 PM PST.

IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this day are significantly higher than the threshold associated with past flooding events, indicating less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of extreme flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a very low likelihood of flooding at 0.1%, with the tide levels being well below the flood threshold. Wind direction is not provided, but given the low likelihood from NOAA and high barometric pressure, the risk remains minimal.

Day 2: 2024-03-10

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Slight risk of coastal flooding. Potential for water levels to reach up to 0.3 feet above ground in susceptible areas.

WHEN From 5:00 AM to 5:30 PM PST.

IMPACTS Possible pooling of water in low-lying coastal areas and minor disruptions to daily routines.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure is still above the historical flooding event thresholds, suggesting stable weather conditions. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis shows a low likelihood of flooding at 1.4%, with a significant distance to the flood threshold. Without wind data, it's difficult to assess its potential impact fully; however, the current data suggests a continued low risk of significant flooding.

Day 3: 2024-03-11

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Increased risk of coastal flooding. Potential for water levels to reach up to 1 foot above ground in vulnerable areas.

WHEN From 5:30 AM to 6:00 PM PST.

IMPACTS Increased risk of minor property damage, especially in low-lying coastal regions. Some roadways may experience temporary closures due to rising water levels.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Barometric pressure readings are slightly lower on this day but still above critical thresholds seen in past severe flood events. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a slightly higher likelihood of flooding at 2.1%, but still categorizes it as low, with tide levels not reaching the flood threshold. The absence of wind data limits a comprehensive risk assessment; however, based on available data, there is a slightly elevated risk compared to previous days but not enough to cause major concern.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Residents and visitors should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop. Consult local authorities or experts for more detailed information and adhere to any advisories or evacuation orders that may be issued.
